Chapter 139 Tactical Team Formation, Dragon and Phoenix Legacy

first timing.

The large screen in the air has been updated with the rankings information for the title defense competition.

First place: Su Chen (confirmed).

There will no longer be a tie for first place.

One radish, one slot. Su Chen, who successfully won three consecutive victories and occupied the first stage, will enter the next stage with the advantage of first place.

"This can be considered a partial victory."

After achieving his goal, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Whoosh!
The wind howled in the air, and influenced by his emotions, the wind spirit doll circled its master several times.

"Yay!" The little guy may not understand the specific importance of winning this game, but he is happy because his owner is happy.

at the same time.

Amidst the clamor, a patchwork of light illuminated the sky above the venue, where a holographic projection displayed a bird's-eye view of the terrain.

"That's a topographical map of the ancient dragon's nest ruins." People quickly realized.

The vast topographic map is divided into three major areas: the outer perimeter, the inner circle, and the core area.

All 150 coordinate teleportation points were marked at this moment, representing the top 150 contestants who ultimately occupied the arena.

The entire vast inner circle has only 32 numbered markers, of which marker number 1 is the coordinate point closest to the core area.

"Su Chen has made a huge profit."

"First come, first served. The resource points along the main road on the east side are likely to be wiped out by him."

Given that this year's resource allocation has broken the record for the highest peak in more than 300 years, some people are truly envious and jealous.

"Not necessarily, and besides, he might not be able to find and handle it on his own." This is a consensus among many people.

The Gulongchao site has been closed to the public for a long time, and many travel guides are outdated and may not be effective.

Moreover, the returns are directly proportional to the risks, and it's not that easy to handle.

At least, after seeing the teleportation markers, the team members began to discuss how to form teams.

"Let's go."

After Su Chen looked up to see his exact coordinates, he and Xiao Ling left the arena together.

When he returned to his seat, the Qingyun Provincial Team and the neighboring Changhe Provincial Team gave him a thunderous round of applause and cheers.

"Well done."

Vice President Li clenched his fist and shouted.

"It's secure, the national team spot is absolutely guaranteed."

Many members of the provincial associations around were quite excited, their excitement evident in their words.

After all, it has been more than 50 years since students from Qingyun Province were selected for the national team.

They've really been absent for far too long.

"If we get the first pick, we'll definitely be selected for the national team. If we can pull off a big win in the Secret Realm Resource Tournament, I can't even imagine what that will be like," one teacher said with a smile.

"Congratulations!"

Gao Mingxuan looked at the tall figure walking towards him with a smile on his face. He patted his chest and said proudly, "Now it's my turn."

His actions were absolutely audacious and reckless.

Now that the first arena has been successfully occupied, all those who were watching from the sidelines have entered the arena.

This group alone consisted of 12 people. Qi Hanhai, the Singer of the Dead, and Gao Jun, the Judge, who had just been personally sent away by Su Chen, quickly rallied and charged towards the third and fourth arenas.

One of the top-ranked players even waited outside the arena on the spot, seeing that the tenth arena was about to be taken down by one person for two consecutive wins.

It's easy to imagine that the intensity of the battles has become somewhat exaggerated.

However, Gao Mingxuan is just that kind of fearless person.

"I even dared to challenge Su Chen, so why would I be afraid of them?" Gao Mingxuan smiled confidently, showing no fear, in the face of some doubts from his teammates.

Luan Dehai, who always liked to mock him, also fell silent.

This guy is incredibly resilient; he gets stronger with each setback, like an unkillable cockroach.

That ever-enthusiastic spirit has indeed caused his opponent to keep improving; at least in their head-to-head record, he has lost more often than he has won.

"You're such a jerk."

That's fine, even if we lose, we can still feel the gap.

After Luan Dehai sighed, he stood up and silently walked off the stage.

"You're going too?" Gao Mingxuan was surprised.

"Boring, waiting is a waste of time." Luan Dehai said coldly, word by word, with a straight face.

Feng Xingqin glanced at the two "money-giving boys" with a cold smile. What difference would these two idiots make if they actually went onto the stage? They would just be handing over the victory to others.

"You two had better team up."

At this moment, Teacher He Yun made a suggestion to Xia He and Su Chen.

"Note that the three-person team from Beiluo Province should go directly to the second, fifth, and ninth arenas. These three teleportation markers are located on the south side of the inner circle of the Ancient Dragon Nest Ruins. If they are willing, they can probably assemble and form a team in less than a day."

This mere reminder has greatly surprised many teachers.

It really is!
After taking a look at the situation on the field, the copyist had already stepped onto the second arena. The fifth arena also welcomed a lithe young woman with a wheat-colored complexion. Her aloof and frivolous demeanor, along with her Mech Warrior deck, made it seem as if she was introducing herself.

At the boundary barrier of the ninth arena, a resolute and cold-blooded figure also appeared.

"Goodness, these legion kids are definitely aiming to form teams."

The tactical intention was all too obvious.

"This is a bit unsettling." Vice President Li's cheerful expression vanished as he stroked his chin, pondering the situation. At least the discipline of the Legion's members was indeed much higher than that of the other provincial teams.

In particular, the rules for this year's national competition have undergone a major change, allowing for open competition in the Secret Realm Resource Competition.

In short, it unravels many gentlemen's agreements and civilized rules.

Everything is modeled after the wildest and most flamboyant century of glorious expeditions, allowing any player to freely attack within the secret realm and seize resources without considering the opponent's wishes.

Even if Su Chen is the top priority, there is still a considerable chance that he will encounter these group of legion members who have teamed up in the core inner circle.

Even a single copyist is disgusting enough when fighting alone.

If they were to team up and fight three against one, Su Chen would definitely be tricked and sent out of the secret realm.

Only 32 players will advance in the third stage. Anyone who is teleported away from the secret realm after suffering a fatal injury will have their resource points directly tallied and settled.

“Su Chen is in first place and will definitely advance to the finals, but we can’t just consider the schedule. He absolutely cannot miss the major and minor inheritances within the competition. Those are opportunities that you will never have again in your life if you miss them once,” Vice President Li said with a serious expression.

There's definitely a dragon's legacy inside.

How could you miss it!

One should always be wary of others, as other teams may also form their own, potentially leading to a chaotic free-for-all.

Thinking about it this way, they realized that they had no choice but to react under the pressure of the situation.

"I understand, I'll go and take down the eighth arena."

Xia He stood up, her tall figure resembling a graceful lotus leaf standing tall in a clear pond, displaying an extraordinary and elegant beauty.

"Absolutely no problem," Su Chen replied affirmatively as they looked at each other.

This is not a joke or a word of advice.

After personally experiencing Ning Yuanzheng's deadly strike, he immediately realized that the other party could not possibly be a match for Xia He.

Despite Xia He's flamboyant swordplay, she often resorts to assassination when dealing with spell-based card players.

One of them, in order to maximize damage output, also practiced the first burst external magic fusion method.

A skillful and enchanting figure, whose whereabouts are elusive, using the first body technique, the external technique, the Eclipse Moon Technique, to advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

Su Chen had been training and sparring with Xia He in private for a long time, so he naturally knew her background.

After a quick simulation and review, he realized that Ning Yuanzheng, with his extreme burst damage style, wouldn't be able to touch Xia He's sleeve even with his frequent teleportation abilities. The eighth arena would be no problem at all.

"Xia He should be fine. Being ranked first in talent sequence is often just a title that intimidates people." Vice President Li also affirmed this.

The domestic talent ranking list issued by the Ministry of Education of Xuanhuang Kingdom was not published for 26 years.

This list dates back to the middle and late stages of the Revival Era. Over the long years, it has changed its name many times, and occasionally it has been discontinued due to various wars, disasters and other reasons.

No matter what.

There are at least 68 card master talents who have reached the top spot.

“In the past, the list was somewhat of a trend indicator. Whenever a big shot in China broke through to the demigod or even god level in a year, their talent would often be ranked first on the list that year,” said Vice President Li.

That sounds a bit like flattery.

There are some valid reasons for doing so.

They've already advanced to god-level card masters, so their talent is naturally top-notch.

But upon closer examination, the problem becomes much bigger.

“In the past, there was a god-level master in China who awakened the universally acknowledged talent of a useless card master, but he still made it to the end. So the question is, can others with this talent be the same as him?” Vice President Li shook his head and laughed.

That is of course impossible.

The other students who were listening also figured out some of the nuances.

"To put it bluntly, it's still human strength that matters."

Vice President Li offered some words of encouragement, saying, "Talent isn't as important as you think."

of course.

Another important point to add is that each stage of the Card Master's talent unlocks new features. Depending on personal aptitude, meditation diagrams, external aids, or inheritance interference, the same talent can vary greatly.

Just like the same leaf, they look exactly the same, but upon closer inspection, the veins are completely different.

at this time.

Senior researcher Duan Lianqing had already given a piece of intelligence to Su Chen, who had taken his seat.

That's information about the ancient dragon's nest ruins.

During the Primal Era, the Phoenix race conquered and occupied Dragon City three times, and even many of the Dragon Clan's nests were taken over by the Phoenix.

"I heard that the Ancient Dragon Nest Ruins are an ancient battlefield left after the great battle between dragons and phoenixes. Are there many real dragons and phoenixes there?" Su Chen asked curiously.

Logically speaking, such a trial in a secret realm is far too difficult for these intermediate card masters.

However, Vice President Li has a lot to say on this point.

He wiped away a tear of bitterness and said with a wry smile, "It's just like the spiritual inheritance in our province. In the past, the Ancient Dragon Nest Secret Realm was also reserved for master-level card players."

"But what kind of heritage can withstand the continuous consumption every year? What kind of secret realm monsters can withstand the large-scale invasion every year?"

"That's why the Ancient Dragon Nest Ruins were shut down for a period of time. If we hadn't paused and restored it back then, it would have been almost completely depleted. If this year's test is very difficult, there should be a five-star true dragon in the secret realm. Hmm, maybe there are some phoenixes too."

Five stars is the limit; dragons can exert racial suppression on the vast majority of monsters at the same star level.

Intermediate card players also suffer greatly when facing the threat of a true dragon.

This point was mentioned.

Vice President Li glanced thoughtfully at Su Chen. If there were elemental dragons and elemental phoenixes inside, they should be within the scope of his future contract summoning card.

So fitting.

Both races can switch between multiple attribute forms and are very strong.

Also.

He suddenly realized that if phoenixes really existed, there would at least be a 'Phoenix Terrace'.

This can be seen as an extraordinary enhancement and amplification platform. Card players can achieve a double boost in star rating and quality simply by placing a contract card on the platform.

The extent of the enhancement is immeasurable; it may awaken an additional attribute, create unique effects, or even give rise to skills or arcane arts.

"What a treasure! It all depends on how much money they've invested this year. If it included the Phoenix Legacy, that would be fantastic," Vice President Li exclaimed.

The phoenix, somewhat similar to the spirit race, is extremely skilled in mental power and is the master of the spiritual realm.

The blessings bestowed by its minor inheritance are enough to enhance the card player's innate characteristics.

If so, this is more cost-effective than some Dragon Legacy items.

"Fengxiantai".

While reviewing the intelligence in his hand, Su Chen also noticed this amplification platform.

Currently, due to limitations in her own mental strength, Xiao Ling is still a three-star purple card. It is expected that she will be able to upgrade the Demon Spirit to the four-star stage when she reaches the final stage of the intermediate card master.

If this secret realm truly has a 'Fengxiantai', then he will receive a significant boost in the final battle.

"Xia He will be here soon."

At the same time, Teacher He Yun reminded her from the side.

The entire teaching team was paying close attention to the battle on the arena. Duan Lianqing herself even took out a sketching pen and jotted down important information in her notebook.

Intelligence gathering is still underway.

In a clash of titans, especially one involving the battle for the top tier, the outcome is naturally different from the easy, perfunctory matches of the first stage.

Almost everyone brought out their best skills.

"That copyist, Cao Zheng, has defeated the Meditation Master."

The number one cultivator has fallen!

The two core summoning cards I had carefully prepared were completely wasted on the opponent.

'Your cards are great, but unfortunately they'll be mine in the next second!'

Just as the saying goes, the two summoning cards with almost 100% effect were copied into my hands, and I even successfully mastered the secret technique that the summoned beast had come to understand.

What's outrageous is that, as time goes on, the piracy aspect is gradually gaining the upper hand over the legitimate aspect.

"He has a deck that counters Summoner decks, which is very annoying," one teacher complained. It's similar to the Slime Transformation deck, which relies on cards like Mimic Clone, Imitation Master, and Gene Steal to make the opponent feel increasingly uneasy as the game progresses.

On top of that, Cao Zheng the copyist is faster to form, and he also has a Mirror Master card ready to outnumber the original and gang up on it.

Unfortunately, Su Chen was also restrained accordingly.

It's not easy to summon the Demon Summoner card, otherwise you'd have to wait for it to be copied.

In the minds of Duan Lianqing and many teachers, this elemental master in the team would once again face the opponent in the same way as the judge Gao Jun.

Only this time.

This copyist, Cao Zheng, is indeed proficient in everything, an all-rounder, and is also very skilled in magic, melee combat, and summoning.

Even from a third-party perspective, the contest between the two was absolutely thrilling.

"Pay attention to the girl who just won in the fifth arena. Her fighting skills combined with this talent are a match made in heaven."

Just then, Wang Liyang's voice suddenly came from not far away.

Teacher He Yun looked at the other party with considerable surprise. After spending half a year together, there were very few young people who could make this guy exaggerate.

This made her pay more attention.

“That’s ‘Dawn Hunt.’ If the talent rankings were still up, she would be the first talent sequence user.”

"Because Marshal Yan, the current commander-in-chief of the Dimensional Exploration Legion and the commander-in-chief of the First Realm Defense, possesses this talent."

Wang Liyang's previously indifferent voice suddenly filled him with respect.

Hear the words.

Upon hearing this name, Ms. He Yun's expression changed.

If online news commentators are correct, the large number of military personnel who have been reassigned or dismissed are some of the enemy's close associates.

I'm quite busy on weekdays, so please vote for me! I'll try to get more votes tomorrow.
